Shadow Guardian

Chapter 4 The road to understanding Part 2

Confrontation…

The Dark magician of chaos stopped in his tracks as he sensed someone's eyes piercing him as if warning of an unpleasant fate if he did not get what he wanted. Turning around he wasn't surprised to find the Dark magician to be the one staring so boldly at him. None of the other shadow monsters except the god cards dared to approach him a demanding glaze, and a frustrated Celtic guardian. He heard a small sigh escaping him knowing the confrontation was endible, but it certainly wasn't desired. He hated to recall past events much less tell them. The Dark magician was the only shadow monster he could tolerate, for the monster who was a reborn of an ancient priest had earned his respect when he had sacrificed his life to save the pharaoh.

He wasn't surprised to see the Dark Magician on his own it was known that his young apprentice tend to break down and cry herself to asleep when she returned from a visit to the shadow Guardians quarters. The Dark magician had confided in him that the shadow monster had appointed herself as the mother to the Guardian. He thought sadly at the shadow monster conflicting emotions how could you help or protect your child from a danger which was himself ; when you can't even bear to look directly into his eyes without loosing hope that things would ever be the same again.

He was surprised to find the Dark Magician stare sternly at him; he chuckled realizing that he has lost himself in his thought again a habit he seemed to have developed lately. He asked the Dark magician to follow him to a more secluded spot making sure that no other shadow monster would be able to hear them. The Dark magician looked warily at the wards the Dark magician of chaos had placed around them. He realized then that things with the Shadow Guardian would take him deeper into the hidden past of the origin of the shadow realm.

Unlike what the ancient priests believed, the Dark magician discovered that the shadow realm had existed for millions of years, and was created for an entirely other purpose then to harbor the shadow monsters. But not much was none about that part of history the only ones who had any knowledge of the distant past was the Dark magician of chaos and the 3 gods. None of the shadow monsters dared even to think to go to those monsters and ask them about it.

He remembered once when they had been reborn as shadow monsters did the Dark magician girl ask the Dark magician of chaos about the history of the realm. He was surprised to see the Dark magician of chaos stare angrily at the young apprentice and gave her a look which if it was able to kill, it would have disfigured the young apprentice and banished her mangled body to the depth of the shadow ream. The Dark magician girl shook in horror realizing the effects of the question on the mage. Giving her another intense glare he turned around and walked away.

The Dark magician girl fell to the ground shaken to see a fellow monster look at her in that manner. As the Dark magician tried to calm his young apprentice the Celtic Guardian appeared and helped calm her down and asked them to forgive the Dark magician of chaos for his actions. He wasn't usually hostile but the question always sparked his anger he told her sadly. They both looked at the Elvin warrior surprised at his tone. Some secrets are better left unknown, and some burdens are best kept locked away may the day where you would need to know the dark secrets of this realm may never come Dark magician girl with that said he walked away tending to give the Dark magician of Chaos a piece of his mind.

Surprisingly to the two the Dark magician of chaos came to apologies for his outburst both accepted quietly know knowing it was better not to bring up that topic ever again. They soon became close friends afterward; he even volunteered to show the dark magician girl how to use her powers more efficiently. After watching her doing several blunders that was unheard of before as they were the first humans to become a shadow monster they lacked the basic knowledge a shadow monster had as since birth.

He walked up to hear commenting on how she should adjust her grip her staff less firmly , before the Dark magician could warn him the Black Chaos found himself turning into a horrible shade of pink. Screams were soon heard al over the shadow realm as monsters amusingly watched the Dark magician girl running from an angry Black chaos who seemed to have taken a lovely shade of pink.

To be continued…

I hope that the new chapter was to your liking. I wanted to give a glimpse of the lives of the Dark magician. The Dark magician girl, and the Black chaos. I promise that the real action will start soon.
